On Wednesday, September 26, Pastrana hopped a flight from his home in Davidsonville, MD, to Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to perform a stunt he's been dreaming up for more than a year. The next morning, four members of his group skydived from a single-engine Cessna from 12,500 feet. Pastrana performed his jump wearing only sunglasses, socks and surf trunks while holding a can of Red Bull. This is what Scott "Plamber" Palmerhad to say about the dive."He's good at everything he does," says Palmer, who had the most responsibility of the three men. Once Pastrana jumped, threw a few flips and steadied himself on his stomach, McMaster "docked" him by grabbing hold of his hands. Palmer then flew to Pastrana, hopped on his back and hooked his own parachute to a climbing harness Pastrana was wearing under his shorts, towing him in for the landing. "Right before we jumped, I had a moment. I thought, in two seconds, I'm going to be his last chance for survival. It's all up to me now," Palmer says. "Then I looked at Travis. I've seen a lot of people jump, and I've seen a lot of fear. And there was none." Then, one by one, they jumped.
